Chilean police have fined two veterinarians for allegedly administering vaccines meant for canines to humans with the intention of immunizing them against the Chinese coronavirus. One of the accused veterinarians admitted to the deed this week.
María Fernanda Muñóz, a veterinarian in the city of Calama, allegedly administered doses of a canine booster shot to at least 70 people during the second half of 2020, telling the patients it would help immunize them against the Chinese coronavirus. Calama is located in the northern Chile region of Antofagasta.
